About this episode
The Sackhoff Show is made possible by:
“Soy Shannun Maldonado, fundadora de Yawai, un atiendo de regalos relacionada con artistas y objetos artesanales. El Ejishopi-Fai porque provee otras plataformas y estas, sin dudas, fue la más fácil de usar.”From the transcript
The Pegasus has a new commander, Starbuck is a Captain, and Apollo is now a Major (douche)...just kidding! That's for all the people who complain that we hate on Lee too much 😂 This episode started out with a fun new perspective on the role of engineers in the fleet and ends with a debate about abortion rights. Thank you BSG. Looking forward to all of the totally chill and not at all triggering comments from the world wide web 😮💨
I have never watched my performance in Battlestar Galactica.. until now. Listen along for my real, unfiltered first reactions. It's like a DVD commentary, remember those? There will definitely be some behind the scenes stories ;) and if you're a visual person, check out the reaction videos over on YouTube.

Ok, from who? I don't know, but maybe that's where they went to go find out. Interesting. She noticed that I didn't finish. Spelling. You were like, I was like, I before EX have defted. Except after EX. Well they were out on one of your so-called training missions, where they kept them. 20 years later, they still have to say it. I think we all do. It's a hard word that fucking received. I don't know, there's so many seeds. It meses me up every time. So many seeds, so many.
Oh god, hold on. Let's see. It was off the record. I was just venting accurately. I'll have you court martial. You're talking shit. I'm not defending Captain Thracist. Talk to him. Talk to him. I'm talking shit about Captain Thracist. You're restricted to quarters. Until I can ship you back to Galactica, you're a dumbass pent. Let him deal with you. Damn it, Starbuck. Can't keep your mouth shut. Yeah, well it's true. Yeah. Yeah, babe, get those. Nice. You've been on board this in four days, and you're already facing charges. You don't wasting time, do you? Neither do you, Lee. I wonder how many you had to do here. So fucking many. We don't have much time. Those guys are running out of here. Yeah, well I tried, alright? Is it? Uh, is Jock getting stronger? And all I've gotten is Garnas' foot in my ass. Well maybe you need a kick in the ass. Whoa. You. Yeah, also he's kinda, kinda right. What is your problem anyway? Well Cara, my problem is you. You keep fracking up, and I keep having to clean it up, and I am officially sick of it.
Whoa. Life is so hard, isn't it? You mean since I got shot. Lee. She's been hiding how much that's been eating at her, hey? You wanna hear what I think happened to Buster or not? She just buried the back door again. She's been doing it, yeah. Push it down. Do what she does. There it is. Buster, is that you? Buster, this is Red Devil, man. Is that you, buddy? Come back to me. Hmm. I can sleep me for almost all day. There's an accident. No! I totally fucking forget what happened in this episode. Huh. Hmm. There you go. Yeah. This is the reason you're now. Now you're just blind in yourself. The whole thing?
The whole Pegasus? Yeah, stupid. Oh shit. This isn't just Captain Thracist theory. He's a mechanic. Go back downstairs. Sound like such a pilot. It's true though. Viper, you viper, jockey. Did this CIC just exist for the rest of the show on set now? Because they've got this one. I don't remember if it was just like always there. I think it was. I think it was like in a different spot. Commander, believe me, understand how you feel. The silence have been known to lure ships into trap. There you go. Major, down, but you concur. You better look like payphone. Captain Thracist and I are of the opinion that the first two raptors may very well have been lured away by just such a trick. An opinion? I do not share, sir. You don't have the wings on your chest, there, pal. This guy. Five raptors. Three escort to rescue. You have your orders, Commander. Good job.
You don't have anyone on your team? Sure, your expertise is needed elsewhere. Yes, sir. You don't have military battleships. I just love the door screens. So that that is really cool, yeah. How they just open sideways. I was like, wow, that's so cool. Why does sudden interest in the fleet's demographic projections? An issue has emerged that may improve divisive to our administration. I would like all the... Where's head six? There. Sneakens. Our administration. She must be desperate. I always love this dress on her. She looks tan. More tan. Well, I'm a very... We probably went to Mexico. Within the next 18 years, the human race will simply be extinct. Hmm. Wonder if it's... And to see me in the presidency, I've made it my mission to maintain the rights and freedoms we so enjoy. Oh, shit. One of these rights has now come into direct conflict, the survival of the species. Hmm. It gives her a good basis for it.
If the civilization is to survive, we must... must repopulate this fleet. Oh, cattle. From this day forward, anyone seeking to interfere with the birth of a child. Whether it be the mother or a medical practitioner. Oh, are you... Targeted. Shall be subject to criminal penalty. Oh. Oof. Sims, all the way to the world. Fields familiar. Yeah, I love that one. All right, come on, let's go. Let's go. Is that cat? Sound of like cat. Oh, no. Oh, no. What? Oh, cat. Is he doing it anyway? What? Do the best pilot we've got. So get down there, find a viper. Yes. Put her back where she belongs. Yeah. I don't know this flight train in bullshit. If this is a silent trap, then we are entering blind. We should send a force recon. My pilots are dying down there, Major. I'm going in. I'm not waiting on recon. This is in direct violation of the Admiral's work. Yeah.
Yeah. So... Sergeant, I have force to take command of this vessel. Management, direct the federal regulations and replace you under arrest. There you go. Sergeant, take him below. Sergeant? Commander's been properly relieved, escorted to his quarters. Ho, ho, ho, ho. You will do it now. Let's see who respects who here. Hmm. It didn't seem like a lot of people respected. Oh, I don't think you should pull your gun. Major, feel calm with me. Shit. That guy's going to be in trouble though, because Admiral gave the order. Jesus. No. This is also, Adama has made a couple of promotion decisions that have not gone well. Tell the Cag, launch our recovery team and let's bring up people home. Shit. They already go ships. Pegasus Red Devil, our two birds look intact. Yeah. Ro... Ro... How did they get those ships like that without damaging them? Mmm. Mmm.
I mean, they like sniper shot at them? Can't imagine it's easy to... Pegasus, both are after cruiser, dad. Yeah. I repeat. They're all dead. You should be bouncing out of there, pal. Holy shit. Sir three silent bass ships. Three bass ships. You dumbass. Here come the news. Holy nooks. Brace for impact. Oh, God. I... Idiot. Jesus Christ. Jump out of there. They probably got to recharge the FTO. Fucking dumbass. Jesus Christ. You spit. Damn, is report. Two nuclear detonations. This is a little bit on Adama for pruning the wrong fucking guy. Saul told him. We're stuck here, sir. Yeah. You're like a sword. Wow. Yeah. So they're... And they're stuck there. Yep. Great. Wow. Come on, start back. What? Hit him on the right. Catford, you take brain. Hit him on the left.
The rest of you, follow me. We're going straight up the gun. You. Ha, ha, ha. I like two lips there. Straight up the gun. Ha, ha, ha, ha. Straight up its butt hole, guys. Where we're going? No, no, listen to me. Listen to me. Wait, how do you get out? Go back, go to the engine room and fix the FTL drive. Yeah. Mr. Engineer. Go back. Take your watch. I need to go down there. Yeah. He's asking to be relieved. Yeah, he is. You have the con. Hurry up. I'm sorry I've put us all in harm's way. Really? It's my bad. I'm going to go back to where I am. Sorry. Stay healthy. Go back.

Ooh, the silent goo. We get to see some goo. Okay. Oh. Oh, we've seen that.
Oh, yeah, we've seen that one. They're reusing them. Yeah. Yeah. That's a good episode. Yeah. I liked it. Really forcing us to have tough conversations about social political issues. They really are, right? But since we don't get political. We don't. We just will say, Well, but like in the context of the show, what would you say is the, what do you think is the right call? Did you go to the Roslin? I do. I grew up with her. Yeah. You have two. I mean, if you have 18 years, I mean, what you, I guess, yes. And then it's just, it's such a, it's such a hard thing. I'm so pro-choice. And I believe in, you know, the speech that Balthard gave as well is that, you know, you're stripping away our freedoms. There are extinuating circumstances, like even if you want to ban abortion, like some of these states have, there are extinuating circumstances to which you should allow that abortion, sometimes expediently, to save the mother's life.
And, you know, not a fetus that doesn't, you know, have a tall... Yeah, and yeah, also, how is the pregnancy created? Of course. Of course. There are all of those things. All of those things matter. All of those things. It is not a black and white issue. It's a very, very gray issue, even in a state that it's been used. But if I were in Rosalind's shoes, I would have done the same thing. I don't think she really had much choice, to be honest. But you don't have choice. Well, and it not just because of the survival of the species, although that is, obviously, probably the most compelling thing. But you, politically, yeah, if your whole basis of leadership is based on, and it seems like we've kind of gone away from any mention of Earth and finding Earth and the prophecies that were so important, which is frustrating to me. But she, as a whole reason, she has become a strong leader and was able to get the quorum to support her, was because she was the religious prophet. So I don't think she had a choice politically either. She had to be able to maintain that. And realistically, she can't be picking and choosing
which things in this religious text that she follows, even though people do that all the time. Of course. But for her, like that, yeah, it's just a political suicide. That's tough. I mean, and even if you wanted to sit here and say, okay, so everybody who is, you know, with a partner and you're happy and well-adjusted and want to have children have children. Well, there's also... And then everybody else... There's also, I mean, maybe there's other decisions if you think, like, go the silo row. If you haven't seen silo or read the book, right? They are just like, it's like a lottery system of like, you can get stupid. But in that sense, it's almost the opposite. But also it's the same, because they do need to control the population growth. You can't just have people having babies uncontrolled. You only have so much space. You only have so many ships. Yes. They only have the unreasonable... Well, clearly they know how to make alcohol. So they're fine. They're not having a problem making the babies. No. But you need to have it. You do need to have a system in place. I would think. Of course. Yes, you do. It's just a complicated thing, because even if every single, okay, so 50,000 people,
half of those people are women, let's just say. And then half of those people are of child-bearing age. You've got approximately 12,000 people. That could be pregnant. And it takes nine months to have babies. Like, you still want to... Yeah, I would assume every one of them is available and able to do it. And you're still not going to repopulate. You know, fast. I mean, that is fast. But that's not what it's worth. It's like 2.2 babies per person to be able to even replace the current population. Right. And generally, it's just like that. So you just... She's right. Like, you have to continue to have children. Like, that's, you know. Yeah. And the babies would... I don't think that they would put a... They're a strain on resources for quite a long time. You know? You get two years to figure out what you're going to do. You just breastfeed them till they're five. You know what I mean? They're like, there's options. Like, there are things to do. Yeah. They don't really... There's a lot of really dependent adults in the next generation.
And because those women are pregnant and they've got boobies that are making milk, like the men could drink it too. Wild take. They're food sources. That's a wild take. So then you're just like a whole dystopian thing where like women are just being put into milking things and they're just like, I mean... I got it. I got it. You got it. I did get it. Because this... It was that motion, I think. But this is like the sucking. That was... Pretty good. I understand what you were talking about. Hey, should we answer some questions from the patrons? If you want to get your questions answered, go to patreon.com slash the sackoff show. All right, we don't have time for many because it is a late. So we're going to do a couple of things. It is. Battles are galacticas from Enrica. Actually, all these are from Enrica. Thanks Enrica. She's always there. This is what happens when you're on the Patreon. Battles are galacticas famous for its intense behind the scenes moments. Do you remember how the cast reacted to the script for this episode? Especially to such a raw and political twist regarding the abortion and species survival story? Yeah.
Yeah, was there any... You know... I don't remember. I really don't. I'm so sorry. You don't remember the whole abortion stuff coming up and people being like, whoa, that's cool. Or, uh, I don't like that because I'm pro-life. I was like 24-year-old kid. I just wanted to kid. 24-year-old suck, you guys. Right. People in their... People in their 20s, you suck. So here's the thing though, as well. Like, sorry. I picked Grace up from the airport today and she was like, I haven't seen this forever. Like, since like 2000, like, when it aired. And she's like, I don't remember anything either. And I was like, yeah. And then I was telling her a story about like her in the food line, like the lunch line. And she was like, what? I don't remember that. No one told me. I don't remember that. How do you remember that? And it's so funny because we all remember certain things and then we don't remember other things. Like... It just happens that there's also other life going on. I remember those shorts though. The shorts at the end? Yeah. I was going to mention those shorts at the end. Yeah, we're not great. So here's the reason why I stayed with those shorts.
It was the reason... It was your choice. It was your choice. Oh, thinking you, let's talk about pro-short choice. Okay, thank you. So for the people that want BTS, since they're like, you don't remember anything, this... Behind the shorts. Now I remember BTS behind the shorts. So when Kara hurt her knee. And she had to wear the cast. They had to cut off one of my pair... One of my pant legs. So I could wear the cast. And then when her leg was better, I was like, well, we don't have endless uniforms. Right. So just cut off the other leg and turn them into shorts. Then that's what she was wearing when she works out now. So shorts. So she wears them all the time now. So you were really on about continuity. You were like, this ship wouldn't have endless pants. We're going shorts. Yeah. Absolutely. Okay. And if you notice, after Kara shot the two guns in that last scene, you will see that she now has two guns coming up soon. Interesting. But she's all about the double guns now. Although you'd think that maybe she'd be like,
one gun is probably good. I didn't really do so. So great. I should just... You came with one. Yeah. So I think that we will start to see her with two guns. Because you were... Because did it that way. You think we were like, I used two guns before and it was cool. And she liked it. She's like, I had it at your hand. You liked it. I did like it. I did like it. I did like it hard. But I was like, why have one gun when you can have two? One gun. It's more guns the better. I mean, that's something. All right. Laura Rosin starts as a progressive and secular leader. But in this episode, she's forced to bat. Well, at this point, she's not secular. She's full on religious leader. Yeah. In this episode, she's forced to ban abortion to the dramatic numbers regarding human extension. How did you and the cast approach the drastic and painful you turn on an emotional level? Doesn't seem like you really had any thoughts. It was also wasn't my storyline. Yeah, wasn't your storyline true? Yeah. So that's a, that's a merry and a raker question, to be honest, and an Eddie question. Yeah. Guys, Baltar uses women's rights to choose as a political weapon to run for president,
showing immense cynicism. Do you believe Baltar truly cared sometimes about individual freedom? Or was it just a calculated move to exploit the fleet's discontent? I, you know, this would be really interesting to have James in this eat, because like, I, I think as a viewer that he doesn't care about anything. I think as a viewer he doesn't care at all about. I mean, he even scientifically, he was the one who pitched the issue of not having enough babies and that they would run out. So, yeah, I think he's just doing it purely for his political game. Yeah, yeah. The episode ends with a hypocritical but necessary compromise. Abortion is legally banned, but secretly granted to Riot. Do you think that the writer's intention is to be a political weapon? And intention was to show that in a situation of total crisis, pure democracy is impossible and leaders must inevitably become Machiavellian. The end justifies the means to adapt one's situation. I just, I mean, I, I don't... I think the writers were much, I, speaking from my own writing experience,
I would think they were thinking much more from a character standpoint and what Roslyn needed and what her character needed, what she had felt like they, she had to do in this situation of the story, less about, you know, making a political statement or a social statement in this case. Like, I think you choose, as already you choose it, you can choose a thematic situation like this. And you can bring in, you know, outside conflicts that are, you're trying to say something about politics or social issues. But in then, when you're actually in the writing of it, you've got to look at it from the character perspective and what they want and what they need, what they're going to do, and what the conflict is with the other characters. And so I don't think, I, I personally don't think they were thinking too much about the Machiavellian crisis element of it. I think there just happens to be there crafting these characters whose journeys and arcs are falling through. But it makes total sense to me that Balthars is trying to become president. They set that up really well over the last couple episodes. And like we talked about, Roslyn has to be able to make those decisions based on her needs as president. Mm-hmm. Yeah. That's what I think. I agree.
Cool. Cool. Cool, guys. Cool. Great, guys. Go to patreon.com-sasasacoffshow. If you want to watch the entire thing with us, it's basically like you hit play when we hit play and we're like a DVD commentary. So you get to hear everything, not just the cut down version that we put on YouTube. Do you like having two people on your couch at home talking over the stuff that you like to watch? I really love it in a movie theater. That's what I like in a movie theater. It's like someone's behind us talking about it. Oh my God, I just watched this. That's what it's like. I just watched a video of a woman who recorded another woman who she, you know, in theaters now, you like buy your seat basically. Yeah. She went in and there was a woman in her seat. Mm-hmm. And that was like, just sit somewhere else and the girl was like, but that's my, okay fine. So she and her family like sat somewhere else, but they could still see the woman who had a dog with her in the theater. And the dog was like crawling all over her. She was like feeding the dog and talking the entire movie with the friend next to her like crazy town. I would have been so fucking pissed.
Would you not have been pissed? Yeah, I would have been pissed. Yeah. Anyway, that's, I just thought that was really funny when you were talking about don't you like having two people talk to you the entire time? Anyway, on that note, you guys, thank you so much for joining us. Please come back next week. We have Boomer herself for two episodes or maybe it's Sharon or Athena. We have so many questions. We have so many questions. Look forward to talking to her. It's going to be amazing. Other than that, thanks honey. Thank you.
